Can the government do anything right??? Not even the prisons they can run properly SMH. This country is a mess.
When Caymanians are arrested and paraded in every media venue to cement their guilt before the public whilst a blind eye is turn to others doing the same illegal and criminal $#@! to empower and and increase their influence and control in the prison i am not saying its right to fight but prisoners must stand up for what is right. This Jamaican situation here needs to be address Governor setting useless entities run and control and influenced by them to continue this criminal and corruption onslaught needs to stop!
Too many of the same nationality in control. Corruption guaranteed.
When Caymanians commit crimes, they get what they deserve.
